Why are some guys turned on by built shirtless guys, even tho they do NOT want to have sex w/ them?

More than one guy has declared in Y!/A (usually in the LGBT section) that he gets turned on by looking at hot male bodies, in life and/or in pix--at least one even masturbates to climax--but the thought of actually having sex w/ another guy turns him off.

My best guess, which I've expressed to them AS a guess, is that these guys are excited by the idea of BEING a built guy showing off for the world. They identify w/ the sexy models rather than lusting after them.

Others over in LGBT dismiss them as "bi or bi-curious". But given that these guys want to date only girls and have sex only with girls, I have to say they're str8, not bi.

Since I haven't seen any better explanation than my own guess in LGBT, I'm now offering the problem in this section.

Any insights, people?

Update:

@ Andre: Yes, I am. But what's that got to do w/ anything? And what makes you think that question qualifies as an answer?

Update 2:

@ SebastianS: Actually, plenty of str8 guys (reportedly) do watch and enjoy lesbian action. But based on the observable numbers, it's certainly not as popular a genre as M/F porn. So your argument remains viable.

Update 3:

@ Melancholie: Excellent question. Too bad I don't have an equally good answer. But when and if the situation shows up again, I'll ask. (The questioner might even respond!)

The one q'n I *can* relocate, at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvujP... says in part "i recently started finding myself psyically attracted to men...like if i see a pic of a muscular shirtless dude i sometimes get a ***** [presumably b0ner] but still not to the point where i want to do anything sexual to them." SEEMS pretty sweeping, but ...

I do wish I could find the guy who talked about w@nking over pix. (It's possible he deleted the q'n after asking it, of course, or I may just be missing it. Not all q'ns have useful headlines, more's the pity!) I'm pretty sure he denied wanting to kiss, but that's not what you mean by "oral", is it? ;->

Update 4:

@ Days Go By: Relevant points.

And I feel compelled to note that your avatar portrays a definitely alpha male.

    Sexuality is not cut and dried. People can have fantasies and wet dreams about same sex encounters and not want to fulfill them in real life. Inversely, gays can find they have heterosexual fantasies.

    For what it is worth, I agree with your theory about those men identifying with, rather than actually lusting after, those fitness model types. A lot of sex is about narcissism, so surely projection must play a big part of this. This is probably why straight guys do not watch porn with just lesbian action, but like to see a man and woman together.

    That's a way many guys size up their competition and to determine what girls like.

    Normal for guys to be attracted to or at least admire buff guys. Why do you think all our action heroes on TV and movies look good and have great bodies, or are the guys selling us shaving cream and razors? Because good looking, physically buff guys get attention from most guys. Same with sports figures. Same reason in school, the biggest jocks will have a "posse" of other guys. even in other animals, the biggest bull or buck is the alpha and other males will hang out with them.

    Do they go into what they mean by sex? There are a lot of bicurious guys who jump right to the idea of intercourse and feel put off by that idea. However, ask these same guys if they want to "fool around" in other ways with these shirtless guys (ie oral) and they'd be more open to it.

    It could just be that well-built, scantily glad people turn our thoughts to sex, and guys go there more anyways.

    There was a study done in which men and women were shown pictures and it was recorded where their eyes went. All men, even straight, tended to look at the crotches of other men, while women generally examined the arms and chest. I think this says something about male sexuality in general.

    It is the same reason that most guys get a tingle in their jingle from looking at a well formed butt or great set of breast. It is eye candy and fuel for fantasy.

    in spite of the indisputable fact that if he does have "unwind time" contained in the vehicle, it nonetheless is different from with the ability to unwind at domicile. provide him a even as even as he receives domicile. Him taking an hour to go back domicile and get positioned and get decrease back into the groove of being domicile, no count number how confusing or uncomplicated his job might want to correctly be, is totally perfect. also, in spite of the indisputable fact that if he's "way overpaid", does no longer advise he wouldn't have any rigidity or would not artwork flat out. provide the guy a spoil. There are some days the position it in basic terms isn't contained in the playing cards for him to opt for sex. rigidity performs a tremendous component of this many times, and also you pushing him to have sex or making him sense undesirable for declaring no might want to no longer help. yet, IMO, you want to no longer ask the international wide internet hi with this and ask him. if you're heavily in touch and questioning WTF? search for suggestion from from him. it quite is the in trouble-free words way some thing is going to get resolved. yet in my opinion, i does no longer be all that aggravating. It appears like he in basic terms needs to be in a position to unwind earlier sex and to me it quite is totally perfect.

    It's normal for guys to admire buff guys as they want to have a fit body just like those buff guys. Those buff guys would set an example for them to workout harder.
